Seventh album just released! View From The Catwalk is debuting exclusively on Blast Music, and it's a double album! More bang for your buck! And that's a lot of bang, since Blast Music is free to listeners.

Since 2006, Rolling Jazz Revue (rjr) has played improvised instrumental music ranging from straightahead jazz to free, fusion and much more. The emphasis is on original compositions by the band, but some shows have been devoted to themes such as jazz arrangements of the music from Star Wars, a mashup of Thelonious Monk tunes with Curtis Mayfield's Superfly soundtrack, and other unusual ideas. They like to keep it fun and keep the audience engaged. Rjr has also backed up several local artists both live and on record, including Alan Little, Marylyn Coffey, the late Duke Way and many others.

In addition to recording their own albums, Nick, Newt, Jeff, Mike and Jim all work as session musicians and arrangers for Startlingly Fresh Records. They appear individually on albums by other SF artists such as Duke Way, John Onder and Alan Little. As a group, they guested on Alligator Wings and While They Were Sleeping.

"The players are tight together and seem to truly enjoy what they're doing... High energy and talent just shine right on through! Most highly recommended!" - Dick Metcalf, Improvijazzation Nation
